AMRE First Monthly IMPACT Day

There is no doubt that working in the Real Estate Industry puts our team in a position to be able to assist our clients reach their goals when it comes to buying, selling, or investing in real estate. However, we aspire to do more for our community to make a real IMPACT.

To close out June, Adam Merrick Real Estate hosted their first monthly AMRE IMPACT DAY. The focus of Impact Day is to identify a need in the community and band together as a team to really make a difference. The selected charity this time around was the “Center for Prevention of Abuse” located in Peoria. AMRE donated 70 hours to help revamp facilities that are used every day to help families in our community.

Since 1975, CFPA has changed locations, added departments, programs, services, and directors with one goal in mind: to better serve the needs of our community.

1975 – Establish agency as Rape Crisis Hotline to serve people in crisis from sexual assault and set up hotline at Allied Agencies.

2004 – Campaign results in building two additions to the emergency shelter at Joan Court – a building for counseling, education, and administration, and an apartment building called Next Step Transitional Housing.

2011 – Acquire Carol House of Hope, a domestic violence shelter in Pekin.

2017 – Re-introduce Safe From the Start, a program for children ages 0-5 years who have been victims of or witnessed an act of violence at home or in the community.

2018 – Add Human Trafficking Services department.

Our ultimate goal as a team was to truly make a difference in the lives of those in our community. This is something we discuss daily in our office, focusing on building relationships. We asked some of our team members what they thought about the experience and here is what they had to say:

“I felt very honored that we were able to give back to an organization that facilitates life changing experiences for women and children.” – Cindy Carlock

“It is humbling realizing the importance of giving back and the impact that it makes.” -Kelly Hunchusky

We are endlessly grateful for the opportunity to lend a helping hand and look forward to continuing to find new ways to serve our community.
